Something that has helped me lately is to recognize &quot;panic&quot; in my thought processes- and then deliberately change it to hope and faith and courage. I love the thought of us all praying for each other.

I have the same question about why isn&#39;t it &quot;always right&quot; if it was &quot;right&quot; for a while. <br /><br />Your post made me cry and it also made me feel slightly better that someone out there had the same experience.<br /><br />Thank you for this post. So very, very much.Amanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068828462736660365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945924259869695270.post-90600504993236054522012-02-26T18:07:39.601-05:002012-02-26T18:07:39.601-05:00Natalie, it has been a long time.

I have found it is most important to be happy with myself than to be sad that I am not in a relationship with someone who isn&#39;t even worth my time.

You pinpointed the most painful part of a breakup perfectly: the loss of hope. <br /><br />It&#39;s so tricky to hold onto the hope and everything you learned from a relationship while letting the person you shared it with go.

I feel ...As far as the Utah culture thing--I agree. I feel like there are big things I&#39;m accomplishing and things I&#39;m pursuing right now that aren&#39;t &quot;up to par&quot; for a lot of people (aka I&#39;m not married... no children). I&#39;m constantly asked when I&#39;ll be getting married.. or my favorite--at wedding receptions--&quot;You&#39;re next!&quot;.. but it hasn&#39;t happened for me.. yet. People can be really tactless and forget that things happen in the Lord&#39;s time, not society&#39;s time.<br /> <br /><br />I also find a lot of comfort reading Dieter F. Uchtdorf&#39;s talk, Forget Me Not. &quot;Forget not to be happy now.&quot; I like to think of hope as having trust and assurance that promised blessings are coming. Sometimes I forget that. Thank you for the reminder!

It&#39;s a trial that&#39;s hard because so few understand. When other people are having a hard time people bring them casseroles and cookies but when you are single and your heart is hurting you have to convince everyone you are doing just fine so they will stop the stupid comments!! Argh. I love your outlook and your hope.

I have both and I work very hard at being a wife and a mother. That is who I am. That is what I do.
